A lot of good abilities to choose from

In College Football 25‘s Dynasty mode, the ability to upgrade coaches is immensely useful in both the short and long run.

Unlocking different abilities with the help of XP helps determine a coach’s archetype. The coach archetype, in turn, decides how he manages different aspects of the school’s program. While every ability has certain uses, some of them are outright better than the rest.

Top coach ability upgrades to unlock in College Football 25’s Dynasty mode

When picking between the best abilities, you’re not restricted to a single archetype. In fact, all three core archetypes have some handy abilities that should be prioritized.

One of my favorite abilities on this list is the Always be Crootin’, which is such a useful one to help improve your squad. The additional scouting hours are extremely helpful when it comes to drafting prospects. Similarly, the Star Maker ability is great to develop your athletes quicker in College Football 25.

Ultimately, you can’t have all the abilities as unlocking them requires XP, and the cost isn’t the same. Make sure to prioritize those that fit your style of management better.
